Have you checked SailfishOS? Their Android-bridge is pretty decent, it might work well. If you tell me the app name, I can check whether it works or not.
The secific app is xdrip+. But it’s probably not possible to test it out, because starting/working is not the issue, the issue is making sure that it has a 100%% stable background connection with my blood glucose sensor, recovers from failures, restarts in the background on closure,… Eventually, I’ll get my hands on a linux handheld and try for myself :)
That being said - how’s your experience with Sailfish been so far?
Just waiting for the pain to be enough to switch to Linux on a phone.
Main drawbacks right now:

Thanks, that is a very kind offer!

I’m not sure how you’ll be switching to Linux on a phone you can’t unlock properly though
Ah, true. I honestly think we need to get to a point where smartphones intended for use with linux are profitable / widespread.
But that’s a catch 22 with UX and HW both being required for companies to invest in the other.
